Beautiful rendition - excellent detail. I can almost feel it...I really like this work. PS. Thank you for your earlier kind remarks!

Excellent re-creation. Looks wonderful and reminds me also of some parts of San Francisco.

Hi William. I really like your Italianate Row Houses. You've included a bunch of detail made in a way that I've not see before. Great job - please do make more.

Beautiful rendition of the actual buildings. The stairs going to the raised first floors turned out very well.

I do wish, though, that Lego made more accurate, realistic architectural details. I do believe they could do a better job with windows, doors, molding, etc.

Brilliant, beautiful.

This looks excellent. Nice job and attention to detail. This would look great in a city layout.

Nick, Hey, great to hear from you! We owned # 188 and my parents owned #196. I agree, this was the time and place for historic preservation. -Bill

Dear William I enjoyed your rendition of the Elm Street houses. In the 70's we restored 210 Elm Street and received a Preservation award from Albany Historic Assoc. We (Elm Street Assoc.)even had a logo sticker and letterhead. These were the creative,passionatedays of historic preservation and community development. It was a lot of fun. Nick Aliotti

Very nice architecture. You have managed to use a lot of color without looking cartoon-y by using good detail and proportions. Great MOC!

Awesome work Dad!!!! Just like i remember it. :0

As a huge fan of leggos, and also, from someone who lives a few blocks over from Elm Street--you did an amazing job. The detail is impressive!

Great work, Bill. Hello from Don and Lois, still rolling along after all these years!

Bill: Paul Grondahl here. I'm a reporter for the Albany Times Union and know your brother, Peter, and your mom. Do you live in Albany? I thought your Elm Street Lego creation might make a fun feature story. Could you e-mail me at the paper? Thanks, Paul

Wonderful work. I was just there in Albany recently and took many photos around Washington Park. Inspiring place for Lego.

Thanks for the complements! It took quite a few months to build, but that was mostly collecting the bricks on Bricklink. Each house is built to the same model, so once the design was complete, it could be easily replicated. Obviously, I stole quite a bit of the design from the Greengrocer :-) -Bill

Woah, amazing detail! How long did it take to build this?

Very beautiful work and details.

That has a stunning appearance! Keep up the good work! P.s. check out my creations : ) ~Nate
